A Critique of the Hate-Speech Policy


For transparency purposes, this letter will remain on our website. However, 
The Lawrentian would like readers to know that this does not adhere to our current editorial policy, which was confirmed on February 12th in:
The opinions expressed in
The Lawrentian are those of the students, faculty and community members who wrote them. All facts are as provided by the authors.
The Lawrentian does not endorse any opinions piece except for the staff editorial, which represents a majority of the editorial board.
The Lawrentian welcomes everyone to submit their own opinions using the parameters outlined in the masthead.
Lawrence University promises academic freedom and inclusivity to its students, but it suppresses ideological diversity in numerous ways. The administration has allowed LUCC to deny recognition to the Young Americans for Freedom Chapter in 2019, fostered a culture that makes students unwilling to express moderate and conservative views, and implemented vague speech codes. This is culturally and legally problematic for Lawrence. The interim hate-speech policy enables the university to suppress a wide variety of speech beyond hate speech. If Lawrence does not change, anyone with dissenting views will become subject to censorship, enrollment will drop sharply, and the university may find itself entangled in legal disputes.
